I think winning Emmy awards would have already gained her at least 15 minutes of fame. What is your point exactly? Are you jealous that she is an Emmy Award winner or because she got some recognition that you desire? Your comment sounds extremely petty.

2illogical - She is not making a big deal about anything. If you read the original story, she was pushed to go public by others and it took off from there. Like, I am sure if you had the opportunity to gain some fame a recognition that may further your career and your life you would just say, "no thanks, I am going to stay home, turn off my phone and watch TV."

The media has portrayed the email to her as this abhorant, vindictive, ugly hate letter. In fact, as she herself reads it, the letter was polite and respectful. This woman is pushing 350 lbs and I would guess enjoys her pasta with no interest in losing weight. That's her choice. At least she's not screaming to have taxpayers buy her contraceptives like that "lady" in Washington, DC.

The fact that she has won a couple of local Emmys means little to me. Barack Obama won a Nobel Peace prize. What's that worth? Have you seen some of the crap that lately wins national Emmy Awards. Besides, we're talking LaCrosse television. How good can that be.

Just another in a long line of people who are only too happy to paint themselves as victims and then relish in all the national sympathy they garner. Maybe someone can start a bank account and sympathizers will fill it full of greenbacks that'll salve her wounds.

We conservatives have a knack for telling those who complain about FOX NEWS, Rush, Mark Belling, Charlie at TMJ and others that if they are so upset they should just change the channel and not watch or listen. Considering I don't watch the View, Ellen and whoever else in the next few weeks is going to put this lady's sob story on more public display, extend you 15 minutes to maybe a half and hour. I don't watch any of that junk TV anyway.

Its obvious you have reading comprehension issues, sorry, its not hate, its just pointing out the obvious. So everyone who is criticized or dealt with in a not so nice way should make a big deal over every single issue. Maybe we should have a special TV show just for those people who have ever received some unwanted criticism, heck, lets give them their own cable channel. Yes, you need to grow up. Have a nice day !

Oh, my, more venomous language. It's really a shame you have to resort to insults. You show a complete lack of understanding of the actual issue. For you superficial details, like the number of emails, is what is important for you. Get tough, pull yourself up by your bootstraps and don't be so "sensitive." You are really a sad character.

"Have a nice day !"

I took that for you saying you were leaving?

So you can insult someone and make sarcastic, crude comments, but if you add a "Have a nice day" this somehow changes what you said?

SHE WAS NOT BULLIED - She received an email stating she was overweight. Someone get Michelle Obama on the line. She tried to up the ratings and laughing all the way. Where are the parents coming out on Ellen who are truly dealing with very sad kids who are at the wrath of bullies. Do us a favor Ms. Livingston - bring out the real bullies of the world, you have the spotlight now.
